Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Confirms ‘Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle’ Sequel Underway

Sony Pictures officially announced earlier this year that the sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was moving forward. Details about the sequel may be few and far, but that might change soon.

Actor Dwayne “ The Rock” Johnson officially announced that the preparations for the sequel are well underway. He also took the announcement on Instagram to share the good news by posting a photo of himself along with the Jumanji creative team consisting of director Jake Kasdan, Matt Tolmach, and the Seven Bucks Production team consisting of Johnson, Hiran Gracia, and Dany Garcia.

Johnson captioned the photo, “Ladies, gents, and children of all ages. The JUMANJI SEQUEL is officially underway. Holy shit what a dynamite pitch from our writer/director Jake Kasdan. We couldn’t stop laughing and most importantly – like our first JUMANJI – the HEART in our story is our anchor. Writing with Jake, are our original JUMANJI writers Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg. Back to produce is my twin, Matt Tolmach and myself, @danygarciaco & @hhgarcia41.”

Johnson also took a moment to poke fun at his co-star Kevin Hart by including a hilarious gag statement for the sequel and said, “sorry for the spoiler but @kevinhart4real dies in the first 15 seconds of the movie, to what I’m assuming will be a HUGE standing ovation from the audience and the cast @karengillano@official @jackblack @nickjonas.”

The anticipated Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ’sequel will reunite Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Nick Jonas who will be reprising their roles from Welcome to the Jungle.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was officially released into theaters in December of last year where it became a surprise box office hit. Viewers and fans loved the fun adventure of the movie combined with the nostalgic touches and tributes to the 1995 original classic.
